Hodsock was amazing from the first initial meeting to then booking to menu tasting night to then the big day! Skye was great and very responsive to all of our questions, and helped me into my dress on the day. All of the food was delicious and portions very good. Hodsock really looked after us all day and the only thing w

From the minute we saw Hodsock’s magnificent Tudor gatehouse we knew this was our dream venue. The staff at hodsock made everything so easy, they were so communicative and nothing was too much trouble! Everything ran seamlessly, and I want to give the biggest shoutout to India, our event manager for all the effort she put into making our day so perfect, and for answering my 100s of emails so quickly! She truly makes every couple feel so special and just radiates warmth and kindness. From whisking us away to have a quiet moment after the ceremony, to making sure our glasses were always full of our bespoke cocktails to introducing us to the best bar team you could imagine, India was the best and we are so grateful to her❤️ speaking of the bar team, the bar manager was also so wonderful, and greeted us after our first dance with two drinks to celebrate! Our guests had the most amazing time and so many

We got married 4 weeks ago and we couldn't have dreamed of a better venue. Everything from the minute we booked the date to the morning after the wedding was perfect. All the staff were lovely and made everything feel so special. We loved the menu tasting session, bridal dress runway event, planning meetings everything was amazing. India and Shannon made our wedding day run so smoothly and

From our first contacts with Jess and Henry we were amazed at how easy they were to deal with, knowledgeable and professional. Jess was a superstar and guided us gently but

Gorgeous venue but it’s the food, friendliness and organisation that make it stand out. All the staff at Hodsock are unbelievable & I wish I could go back and thank you all properly. Particular shout outs to Jess & Nick, Jess you were the pillar of the whole day, even made my control freak relax knowing you have it all in hand. Nick, our guests

We got married here in August 2024 and got really lucky with the weather. We got married outside and it was honestly perfect. The team set everything up just how we wanted it and they were so incredibly helpful. Nothing was too much trouble, and our event manager Jess was a God send. She helped me into my dress and wiped at least two drinks off it when they spilled. I couldn't praise her enough. What I adored about the venue is that it's utterly beautiful but you can make your wedding what you want. It can be super

We can’t even put into words how absolutely perfect out day was at Hodsock. The team are exceptional in what they do and looked after us and our guests every step of the way.

They are professional, helpful and organised while still keeping everything relaxed and personal. The food

The wonderful staff at hodsock made sure everything went smoothly. There were a couple of tiny things that weren’t as specified but really small and overall they couldn’t have done more.

Attended a wedding here yesterday and I have to say it was faultless. I’m vegan and they sorted me the most amazing 3-course meal, I was blown away. One of the waiters even found me some almond milk for tea later - sounds like a small thing but these gestures go a long way. The grounds are stunning, my little girls spent ages smelling all the different flowers, watching the tadpoles in the pond and generally running around the grounds! Lots of small things that made a difference to guests - basket of toiletries etc in the toilets, containers with umbrellas, they’ve thought of everything. The lounge is stunning with all the old books that you can just look through. Absolutely beautiful place, but most of all really attentive, well organised staff. If you’re looking for a wedding venue, I would say this place is unique and has everything.

Huge thank you to the team at Hodsock Priory. This was our absolute DREAM wedding venue. It ticked all the boxes and then some!! From the moment we visited the place in January 2018 we knew it was the one and we booked it asap! We loved the exclusivity of the place and it felt like our home for the day. Everyone was completely blown away b

We managed to secure this venue in January and got married mid October. The new venue staff were very accommodating throughout the whole experience- especially on the day when, despite our speeches running over, everything ran seamlessly. They’re also a lot more flexible than other venues we looked at when it comes to suppliers, extras and packages. We loved the fact that so many of our family could stay on site, it meant the party could go on as long as we liked! It’s a picture perfect spot and i

hank you so much to all the team at Hodsock but especially Vicky and Courtney who did a superb job of looking after us for our wedding on 4th May 2019. Everything was perfect from start to finish, Hodsock as a setting is simply stunning in every way, the venue is amazing, the food superb being high end restaurant quality and the service fantastic. The whole team couldn’t do enough for us. We had a dream day - the most perfect wedding day and we will cherish the memories forever. So looking forward to our photos and hoping the bluebell shots will be fabulous. Thank you so much again and
